final review part 3 ch5-7 Flashcards
what are the types of Squamous epithelia
Simple squamous epithelia- Absorption and diffusion
Stratified squamous epithelia- Protect against mechanical stresses
Keratin adds strength and water resistance
what are the types of Cuboidal epithelia
Simple cuboidal epithelia- Secretion and absorption
Glands and portions of kidney tubules
Stratified cuboidal epithelia- Relatively rare
Ducts of sweat glands and mammary glands
what are the types of Columnar epithelia
Simple columnar epithelia
Absorption and secretion
Found in stomach, small intestine, large intestine
Pseudostratified columnar epithelia
Typically have cilia
Found in nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi
Stratified columnar epithelia
Relatively rare
Provide protection in pharynx, anus, urethra
what is Transitional epithelia
Tolerate repeated cycles of stretching without damage
Appearance changes as stretching occurs
Found in urinary bladder
compare and contrast endocrine glands
Endocrine glands
Release hormones that enter bloodstream
No ducts
Exocrine glands
Produce exocrine secretions
Discharge secretions through ducts onto epithelial surfaces
what is the function of the connective tissues
Establishing a structural framework for the body
Transporting fluids and dissolved materials
Protecting delicate organs
Supporting, surrounding, and interconnecting other types of tissue
Storing energy reserves, especially triglycerides
Defending the body from invading microorganisms
what are the 3 types of connetive tissues
Connective tissue proper
Connect and protect
Fluid connective tissues
Transport
Supporting connective tissues
Structural strength
what is reticular fibers
Form a network of interwoven fibers (stroma)
Strong and flexible
Resist forces in many directions
Stabilize functional cells (parenchyma) and structures
Example: sheaths around organs
what is areolar tissues
Least specialized
Open framework
Viscous ground substance
Elastic fibers
Holds capillary beds
Example: under skin (subcutaneous layer)
what is the adipose tissues
Contains many adipocytes (fat cells)
Adipocytes in adults do not divide
Mesenchymal cells divide and differentiate
what is dense regular tissues
Tightly packed, parallel collagen fibers
Tendons attach muscles to bones
Ligaments connect one bone to another and stabilize organs
Aponeuroses are tendinous sheets that attach a broad, flat muscle to another structure
what is irregular connective tissues
Interwoven network of collagen fibers
Provides strength to dermis
Forms sheath around cartilages (perichondrium) and bones (periosteum)
Forms capsules around some organs (e.g., liver, kidneys, and spleen)
the function of blood
Contains a watery matrix called plasma
Contains cells and cell fragments, collectively
known as formed elements
Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
White blood cells (leukocytes)
Platelets
the function of cartilage
Provides shock absorption and protection
Matrix is a firm gel
Cells in the matrix are chondrocytes
name the functions of the bones parts
For weight support
Calcified (made rigid by calcium salts)
Resists shattering (flexible collagen fibers)
Osteocytes (bone cells) lie in lacunae
Arranged around central canals within matrix
Periosteum covers bone
Fibrous (outer) and cellular (inner) layers
compare and contrast the skeletal muscles, cardiac, and smooth
Skeletal muscle
Large muscles responsible for body movement
Cardiac muscle
Found only in the heart
Smooth muscle
Found in walls of hollow, contracting organs
what are the structures and function of each of the serous membrane
Peritoneum
Lines peritoneal cavity
Covers abdominal organs
Pleura
Lines pleural cavities
Covers lungs
Pericardium
Lines pericardial cavity
Covers heart
what are the components and functions of the integumentary system
Protection of underlying tissues and organs
Excretion of salts, water, and organic wastes
Maintenance of normal body temperature
Production of melanin
Production of keratin
Synthesis of vitamin D3
Storage of lipids
Detection of touch, pressure, pain, etc.
Coordination of the immune response
the structure, function, and growth of epidermis
Stratified squamous epithelium
Avascular, like all epithelia
Nutrients and oxygen diffuse from capillaries in the dermis
Functions of EGF
Promotes division of basal cells
Accelerates keratin production
Stimulates epidermal repair
Stimulates glandular secretion
the structure, function, and growth of dermis
Located between epidermis and subcutaneous layer
Anchors epidermal accessory structures (e.g., hair follicles and sweat glands)
Two components
Outer papillary layer
Deeper reticular layer
explain the differences of skin color
Skin color is influenced by two pigments in the epidermis
Melanin
Carotene
compare and contrast the sebaceous and sweat glands
Sebaceous glands (oil glands)
Holocrine glands
Discharge lipid secretion (sebum) into hair follicles
Lubricates and protects hair shaft
Inhibits growth of bacteria
Sweat glands
Apocrine sweat glands
Eccrine sweat glands
describe the temperature regulating mechanism of the skin
Thermoregulation
The main function of sensible perspiration
Eccrine sweat glands work with cardiovascular system to regulate body temperature
the epiphysis of the bone
Mostly spongy bone (trabecular bone)
the metaphysis of the bone
Where diaphysis and epiphysis meet
the diaphysis of the bone
(shaft)
Wall of compact bone
Central space called medullary cavity (marrow cavity)
